Bacon Chicken Pie

This recipe came about because this was all I had in my fridge. Slim pickings that I had to put together to make a meal or I had to go shopping. I’ll do anything to avoid going shopping if I can. So…I had some chicken, a few pieces of bacon, a few mushrooms and only one sweet potato.

Dinner!

This is what I came up with and it was easy and tasty. Next time, I would add some diced up sweet potato to the chicken and bacon mixture to thicken it up, and I would probably add more sweet potato slices on top since they shrink. You could easily adapt this and combine anything you want. I served this with a side of Swiss chard sauteed in white balsamic vinegar and garlic.

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons oil (olive, coconut or ghee)

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

5 sliced of bacon, diced

2 chicken breasts, chopped

5 medium sized mushrooms, chopped

4 fresh sage leaves, diced (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup white wine (or sub bone or chicken broth)

1 cup whole fat cream or coconut milk

1 sweet potato, sliced thin

What to do

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium high heat.

Add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent.

Muy delicioso. Added peas and extra mushrooms and a teaspoon or two of coconut flour for thickening. Really tasty! Making it again tonight (doubled) for post-Thanksgiving guests. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
